Happy for JV, that's pretty cool. If he's got enough left to pitch like he did in the 2nd half, that could be a hell of a rotation.
There wasn't really a compelling storyline this year. You kind of need that when you strip away everything else that's normally cool about a football game. No home field advantage, no raucous crowd, plus you kill the momentum of the season with the off week.

It's just a sterile environment with a quiet crowd in a random city. It needs some juice, and this matchup didn't have it.

I don't know what it is, but I REALLY think he's gay. Might explain this seemingly odd choice. I mean, the dude could pull almost anyone if he really wanted to.
Remember XXX and XXXI better, but I know I watched this one.

The ad shows their roots in moonshining runs and many other “having fun and drinking beer” ways, it really was well done. One can only hope they start undoing some of the BS. They show families not dressed to like F1 high rollers. They are going back after the blue collar fan and family. Time will tell.


Between the marketing and the points change it does seem like a genuine effort to cater to traditional fans. Guess we'll see.

A black guy in a Larson shirt was interesting. The sport is healing

It's nice they at least put color back in but these all still suck compared to the 90s logos.

Always does. The world needs whores. If a woman wants to be one, that's her business, but don't drag a decent man into it and put children through that mess.

Pete: Did I miss something?

Roger: No. Don and I talk all the time when you're not around. In fact, we're about to do it right now.

Pete: Well, goodnight.

Roger: Goodnight, Paul.

I agree but I also think in order to do any of this shite to begin with he's just wired completely different than you or me. It's gotta be a hard thing to just turn off.

It's the portal era. Every team is in the same boat. fricking Indiana just won the championship. You load up best you can for next year and you coach. Then you do it again the following year. There is no more slow burn program building.
Agreed, I kinda root for outdoor teams to advance and host so I can see these games. It'll be a thing of the past before long.

Personally I would want a fresh voice in the room if I’m making this move. Not sure how much things change by just adding in the same OC or a previous one


Yeah, to make firing him make sense it seems like you'd hire an offensive coach from outside the Bills family. I hate when a team fires a guy for the sake of change, but then they don't actually change.

Might not be a popular pick but I'd go with McCarthy and a DC to handle the other side of the ball. Allen is 30 next season and I'd want a proven guy for these next few years while he's still at his peak.

Team results used as individual accomplishments is the topic I wish we could put to rest.

I find myself rooting for a Darnold v Stroud Super Bowl because of how silly this argument is

If so, what targets are we rooting for here?
In hindsight, I would say the earlier the better. However that's contingent on finding the right person and being financially able to support a family. Those two things can be really hard to do these days.
I can't complain about this format. Not exactly what I wanted but it's fair and can't argue with the champion anymore.

An underappreciated part of this change is that winning a race will actually be celebrated more. No more interviewing the guy who stayed above the cutline while ignoring the driver who actually won the race.

I really like the 15 extra points for the winner as well.

If you reverse the races they would have only hit each other, and instead of public transit it would have been a trailer park dispute over a female.

4 divisions of 8 would make so much more sense with the current playoff format, but this is Manfred so...
The only time you should be able to transfer (without sitting out) is if you graduate or your coach leaves.

But I have no idea how you enforce that without making them employees.
There's a reason the NFL sticks with 65-70K with a bunch of premium seating, even the new stadiums. The 100K plus stadiums are hard to fill with so many entertainment options and stupid high prices.
I'll preface this by saying if it was up to me I'd go back to how it was in 1995 and just add a plus one. That ain't happening though, so I'd go with this.

1. Scrap the P4 conference title games
2. Sadly, expand to 16 to make up for that lost revenue. Top 16, period. No auto bids.
3. Start a week earlier so first two rounds are on campus.
4. Semis on NYD, preferably in Pasadena and New Orleans.

No. It’s why these games need to be played on campus until the semi finals.


Yeah, it's gonna get old after the shine wears off. It all needs to move up a week so first two rounds can be on campus and semi finals on NYD.
Fangraphs has us just under 238. Tax is at 244.
If the teams want to be there, the games are good. If not, they aren’t.

That was Hawaii’s Super Bowl and it showed. Great game.
It all sounds good, but it is a pretty big culture shock to go from a lifetime in Utah to the Big 10 and a program with expectations like Michigan. I'm rooting for him, but I could easily see it going the way of BK at LSU. Not because he's not a good coach, but the expectations are going to be unrealistic and there will be people meddling and not necessarily letting him do it his way.

Hope I'm wrong. Love the arc of a guy doing it the "right" way for decades and taking one last shot with a big program before he retires.

Better than all that, everyone was watching the end of that game without thousands of phones up in the air.
